the following:

·A job description and documentation of credentials
are required when submitting new-hire packets and contracts. If
appropriate documentation was submitted during FY2014, please advise HR

positions for requests to hire employees through temporary agencies. A
separate notification detailing this is forthcoming and will appear in the
Daily News.

to Payroll for ALL contracts not renewed. HR will obtain this
information from Payroll to update and maintain an accurate contract
employee database.
